Fleet of Life Saving Vehicles

What is the Vehicle Fund?

More than half of San Diego Blood Bank’s blood supply is donated at mobile blood drive. This is why fundraising for bloodmobiles, in-room set up and blood delivery vehicles are our highest priorities.

The Fleet of Life-Saving Vehicles Fund pays for the repair, refurbishment or replacement of our 10 bloodmobiles, three in-room set-up vehicles and numerous blood delivery vehicles.

A new bloodmobile is a $300,000 investment when fully equipped and compliant with government standards. An in-room set up vehicles is $75,000 and blood delivery vans are approximately $25,000. Without these vehicles, the San Diego Blood Bank could not collect and deliver enough blood to meet our community’s needs.

This is a wonderful – and extremely urgent! – opportunity for you to help ensure that blood will be there for ourselves and our community.
